I would suggest that the first season, (and first show, specifically the Appa snot joke) has the heaviest kids cartoon feel of any of the seasons. The characters mature and develop beautifully as the series progresses (kind of like the difference between the first Harry Potter book and the third), so if you're turned…

I love this weekly recap
That is all

I think he's more like his father. It takes a too bold man to demand some type of vice grip on all his intellectual property.

They said on the last Simmons/Klosterman clash that it was going to be a regular thing (once a month i think) once Simmons gets the new site launched. Very excited.

I don't see Philip as damaged as much as unable to fit in with everybody else. Kind of like Matt (I think that was his name) from the Amazon season (8 I believe)

It happened during a confessional, so I'm not sure how it gave Zapatera ammunition. If we're going to be serious for a minute though, I thought tonight's episode was amazing.

Philip and Coach should star in a spin-off that creates a whole new genre of television called alternate reality television. I feel like they could stand the buddy cop formula on its head. They break through unsolved mysteries using the power of feather.

Anybody else lose it?
I laughed so hard when Philip shot his pretend guns in describing what it's like to be a crazy man. Beautiful insanity.

It happens a lot but makes for boring television. There have probably been a few in the history of the shows I've seen. Episode 1 had a guy pawn his table saw. Like around episode 2 they had somebody pick something up for pawn and a guy pawned his megalodon fossil shark teeth and a guy pawned his miniature suit of…

Yeah, Jesse is pretty cool. I liked him in the ukelele episode

For fans of the show
Rank your favorite experts:
1. Sean (sp?) the guy who knows so much about old guns (the muskatoon!) is probably my favorite
2. Rick Dale- the guy who fixes the broken shit Rick buys
3. Dana- the Americana guy who gets so excited about signatures and prints
3a. The Clark County museum guy who never…

So you like your reality television with bare-bones criticism? No tangential commentary for you? We should only critique the acting ability of the Harrisons and their customers? Can I ask another rhetorical question?

Yeah I noticed that Tony/Jr. tension too in that Ask John email the other day, but it seems like they're always having issues of some sort. In fact it's great radio when they are slightly pissed at each other.

Radio shows turned podcasts
The Tony Kornheiser show is always great, especially when he and John Feinstein argue (typically on Thursdays). It's a morning radio show that also gets podcasted and he has the best emailers in the business (and by the business I mean the industry).

Last week with Goldman and Simmons' movie friend (name is slipping me) , Connelly, and Klosterman was the greatest week in the pod's history. I'll be relistening to them many many times (disclosure: I always relisten to the Klosterman podcasts at least twice)

agreed

what's a website?

sorry for the bad grammar.

@Andre I agree that Parvati should have won that season or at least played the strongest game, but my point is that him getting to the finals on HvV made it an almost foregone conclusion on how he would play this season.

If you go back and rewatch season 1, it was so damn leisurely in terms of pace. But there's something very engaging about people being forced into a community knowing that they'll have to stab each other in the back because of the structure of the game.
